Specify wifi for printing

Is there a way to tell my computer to use wifi for printing and the ethernet for everything else (i.e. internet, mail, etc.)? With both ethernet and wifi networks connected, my computer fails to find the printer. When I turn off the ethernet network, my computer is able to find the printer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

2 possible causes:
1. If the printer is connected to the network by both wi-fi and ethernet cable, it may not work properly. My HP printer insists I only have one connected or it just sulks
2. Your network may not be set up properly
If you can give more details (how the wi-fi and ethernet networks are set up, what kind of printer, how it's connected etc), it'll help

  • Problem with getting specified pages for printing

    requested Sir,
    I am sanjeev, presently working with adobe indesign for publishing.
    i am working verious sets of master pages,
    now have a problem go gate specific pages for print in the same software.
    it shows saction name that i could not inditify
    give me the message
    (one or more of th pages specified are not valid page name)
    so how gate the valid name of pages?
    please slove my problem,
    thanks
    sanjeev

    If your document has more than one section (sections are used to restart page numbering and similar tasks) you can identify the pages using either the logical name, which uses the section prefix and the "logical' page number which is the number that appears in the page marker, or you can use the absolute page number, which is the position in the document. You can set your preferences to display section or absolute page numbering in the Pages panel, too.
    Unless you assigne some other prefix, sections are labeled as Section I, Section II and so on, and pages are designated by Section:Page# in the dialogs. If you want to use absolute page numbering in the dialog instead, you can add a + sign in front of the page number in the dialog: +6-+12 will be the sixth though twelf pages in your document, even if they are in different sections and carry the numbers vi - 4, for example.

  • Export file in specified format for printing labels etc (BOnewbee question)

    Hello to all,
    has anyone experiences with generating a export file in special text-format to a directory???.
    Is ist possible to generate this file after some action in BO?? (Printing delivery form and after that generate file for printing barcodelabel in special application???)
    Sorry, but i dont have any programming experiences in BO - only in SAP R/3 with ABAP.
    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    There are a number of ways to do this.  You could use the SDK to trap an event and then automate your barcode printing from .net.  You could also use middleware (iBolt, K2, biztalk, etc) You might also write a SQL DTS job with an associated trigger to save out a text file.
    I guess the answer to your question depends on how big your company is, how spread out your IT resources are and what technical resources you have to dedicate to the project.

  • Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

    How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
    Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

    I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
    However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order.  However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
    Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

  • Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

    For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

    The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
    Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
    You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
    The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
    Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

  • I have airport express to enable my wifi.  Will this also enable my iPad for printing?

    I have an original iPad.  I also have airport extrere for enabling my wi- Fi.  Does this enable me to print using my iPad?

    If your requirement is for printing at home and you have a Mac, just go to this site and download a great app that makes all your Mac's shared printers available to the iPad.

  • Can't get WiFi network printing

    hey there all,
    i recently swapped out my AXg base station for the new AEBSn. i have 2 H-P printers; 1 an HP Photosmart(circa late 2006) directly connected to my DP G5. the other, a PSC(circa mid 2004) was connected to my AXg. my problem is that now w/ the PSC connnected to the AEBSn USB port, it acts as though it is connecting & starting to print, but it does 1 line then quits. i've done all the things suggested in the Airport help as well as from H-P's website.
    i've dl'd & reinstalled the driver, turned things off/on, unplugged/re-plugged all to no avail. so far i can get printing from 2 of my other Macs(a MacBook & a 17" iMac CD) from the PSC, but only by having the PSC printer connected via USB through a hub to the DP G5 & used as a shared printer, but neither can see/connect to the Photosmart even though it appear as option in the Print Dialog. i need to have the Photosmart as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 & the PSC as the AEBS/WiFi network printer. this is the way things were setup w/ the AXg, but if they were even reveresd, w/ the Photosmart as the WiFi network printer & the PSC as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 that would work. also, i can not get the other Macs on my network to connect to the Photosmart to print & i can't get my 17" iMac G4 to connect to either printer. i'll keep plugging away w/ trying the "Help" in the meantime as i really need to be able to print to @ least 1 printer from all the Macs. anyone w/ more thoughts or ideas than those available in Airport Help will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    I am having the same problem. I have two HP photosmart printers, 7700 and 7900 series. They both worked before over the old airport extreme. Now, neither work over the new airport extreme. They act like the are starting to print and then stop. Can someone resolve this problem. They main reason I upgraded was to support multiple printers on the network. Now I don't even have one.

  • Solution for printing of Purchasing Documents in SAP with version managemen

    Hi experts,
    We found that the standard solution does not meet the following requirements for purchasing document
    1)     The print for the latest version of the document does not contain items unaffected by change. It  requires printing of whole document with all items, but with version number and highlighted changes.
    2)     The standard solution cannot highlight some of the changes which are not captured by version management like text changes, target value and Contact (Purchasing Group) in header, text changes at item level, etc.
    3)     The standard solution can be used to reprint the whole PO without version management but that cannot highlight the changes specific to the version for which it is printed.
    If any solution which can meet the requirements specified above, please let us know <removed by moderator>.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 30, 2011 9:39 AM

    Ok.
    I have already done with SPRO configuration.
    MM->Purchasing->Version management->
    It has implemented ECC 6.0. The version management has been activated for Purchasing documents. The standard printing solution for printing of these documents (PO, Outline Agreements and RFQ) print these documents with changes made in the latest version. Any item which is not changed in the latest version does not get printed.

  • Shift or Adjust All Pages/Content for Print

    Is there a way to shift all content in an entire publication by specified amounts, from one central location or command - as a temporary "effect"?
    I work with a document containing a set of labels (@70) that print the variable, b&w text portions of products onto otherwise pre-printed labels (color background images and logos).
    I export the document to PDF for printing the labels, because the production crew that prints the labels on demand doesn't have access to InDesign (nor do I wish to teach them to use InDesign). So I'm actually printing from the PDF, but nevertheless all the content therefore has to be shifted in InDesign.
    When printing, the printer always prints off by @ 1/16" in one or more dimensions. (Changes with the weather, too; or maybe with wear on the printer.) This printer does not have functionality in its driver to shift the page images.
    (Getting a different printer is not an answer. We have to have certain printers because they set the ink hot enough to make it stick to the labels, but are still affordable enough. Besides, every printer ends up having its quirks - even our larger printer that is the exact same as those used by Kinkos for more routine color printing.)
    Given the quirks printers always have, I'd be sorely surprised if InDesign doesn't offer some functionality to easily allow shifting of all content before printing, exporting to PDF, or other purposes; but I can't find any sign of such a feature. This would be a useful feature, Adobe folks (hint, hint ).
    My prior solution for smaller label sets I've created in InDesign, is to create a new layer, copy all content, including those on master pages, and then shift that content, thereby maintaining an exact, true layout for future needs, too. I really don't want to do this for 70 labels, though; plus it'd be nice to not have the worry of potentially creating out-of-sync content between the different layers.
    I see Liquid Layouts, but I don't think that'll accomplish what I need any better. I need the page to stay the same size with the content in a slightly different place on it, not to change sizes. Can Liquid Layouts be made to work anyway? It could at least keep the content synced.

    I tried to dig up some links for  you re: InDesign's excellent support for automation in Javascript, but it seems like recent changes to Adobe help resources have caused link breakage, e.g. what should have been a link to the CS5 Scripting Guide was actually a page about how cool InDesign CS6 is going to be. In Turkish. You don't read Turkish, do you?
    If not, forums regular Jongware has a bunch of really useful Javascript reference material publicly available in a variety of formats.You may want to pay a visit to the InDesign Scripting Forum if you are interested in that kind of thing.

  • I've been "looking for printer" for four years.

    Hi everyone,
    I decided to bite the bullet and make a forum post before giving in to my frustration and chucking the thing out the window... I am running OS 10.6.8 on a mid-2008 MacBook and have an HP Photosmart C4385 all-in-one wirelessly connected. Well, connected is perhaps too strong a term. It works great about 50% of the time, and the other 50% I spend trying to coax my computer to find it. When I go to print something I get the "Looking for printer... Printer offline" message. I've been all over the HP site (you can imagine how helpful that was) and, as suggested, tried printing a config page and typing the printer's URL into the browser, but the page doesn't load. Here are some of the specs from the config page:
    IP Address: 169.254.xxx.xxx
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
    Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
    Configuration Source: AutoIP
    From some other sources it sounds like the AutoIP is the problem, but I can't find a way to set a fixed IP. I don't have access to the wireless router but this problem has stayed with me through two dorm rooms and two apartments, all with different wifi setups. Is there anything I can do?

    This not intended as a solution to the IP issue, but as a possible solution to the printing problem. Why not connect your Macbook to the printer with a USB cable?  That way there is no inaccessible router to deal with.

  • Organizing colour mode for print in Illustrator

    Hi,
    I want to set up my document as a two-colour for print. I'm not really sure what is the correct swatch library to choose, if there is such a thing. Either way, i selected Pantone Solid Uncoated as my swatch library. I chose two colours from this and applied them to all aspects of my document. However, the document colour mode is still set to the default CMYK, and my only other choice is RGB. My question is, how do I organize my document to be 2-colour pantone print ready?
    Regards,
    Erin.

    I'm not really sure what is the correct swatch library to choose, if there is such a thing.
    Erin,
    You don't have to use a so-called "Color Book" Swatch Library at all to define a spot color. You can set up the on-screen appearance of a color any way you want (using RGB or CMYK values) and simply define it as a Spot Color. You can also name a spot color anything you want. And you can do this in either a CMYK or RGB document.
    The truth is, a spot color is nothing but grayscale values sent to a single color separation plate.
    For example: Suppose you just don't find Illustrator's onscreen display a convincing rendition of Pantone Metallic 875. You can simply create a new swatch, adjust its CMYK or RGB sliders to something that does look like 875 on screen, set that Swatch to Spot, and name it "Pantone 875 Spot."
    Different example: Suppose you are building a 5-color (process plus 1 spot) glossy brochure (a very common practice). The client's logotype color spec is Pantone 875 metallic. You want occurrances of the logo and the company's tag line to overprint in that ink. But you also need to simulate the logotype color in product illustrations that will occur in the brochure. You have learned from experience (read tests) that even Pantone's own recommendation for CMYK simulation of 875 does not yield a satisfying or convincing simulation in print. In this case, you might simply define the CMYK values that you consider satisfying for simulating 875 in CMYK artwork, name that Swatch "Pantone 875 Process", duplicate that Swatch, change it to Spot, and rename it "Pantone 875 Spot." When you print seps, you'll still get seps named Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and Pantone 875 Spot.
    It's all-too-easy (and all-too-frequent in this forum) to just toss out off-the-top "feature requests." It's quite another thing to actually think it through before doing so. Illustrator does not need a separate "spot color mode."
    Spot color is, by definition, for print, as is CMYK. They are just elements of the same color-separation process. Spot color is quite commonly combined with CMYK process. It would be patently ridiculous to require changing a document from CMYK to Spot Color just to use spot color. Spot color swatches are used every day in CMYK documents for everything ranging from the 5-color artwork described above to varnishes and spot liquid lamination.
    Even Illustrator's distinction between CMYK and RGB Document Color Modes has more to do with maintaining onscreen display of color than with any mechanical or workflow necessity. Other programs don't do that. You don't see "CMYK vs. RGB" documents in Draw, FreeHand, Canvas. In any mainstream drawing program, you can define RGB and/or CMYK and/or spot colors all day long in the same document. Users have been doing this just fine for literal decades. I have decades of project archives to proove it.
    Now, something that would be both useful and genuinely innovative in vector programs (and befitting the industry's sometimes overblown focus on onscreen color calibration) is onscreen consideration of the real-world opacity of inks. Fact is, even with all of Illustrator's hair-splitting focus on color-calibration profiles, etc., etc., it (and all other programs like it) does a pathetic job of making a reasonable onscreen representation of spot inks. Understand--this is not a matter of color model "mode"; it's a matter of overcoming the effective assumption that there is only one kind of "printing" in the world, i.e., offset printing with translucent inks.
    Example: Set up a process-color job that will be printed not on white paper, but on a dark substrate. The illustration is, say, a dinosaur. You, the illustrator (remember? the name of this program is "Illustrator") intend to use yellow ink as a highlight that overprints some darker green. You know this will work, because you know that the yellow spot ink you have specified is much more opaque than the translucency of ordinary CMYK offset process inks that Illustrator always assumes. Suppose that in addition to this, you intend to use an opaque white ink in the design; or a metallic. Turn on the so-called "overprint preview" feature and you'll see that Illustrator (and programs like it)--with all its painstaking focus on onscreen color calibration and gee-whiz "transparency"--is completely incapable of convincingly displaying this common scenario--used everyday on everything from T-shirts to lunch boxes. The fact is, illustration programs are used every day as workflow production tools for much broader applications than just offset printing and web pages. There's silkscreen, signage, embroidery, flexography, etc.
    A spot ink is nothing more than a user-defined ink--a process separation plate other than the common four. Stating that Illustrator 'needs a Spot Color mode' is confusing spot color with line art. Spot color is as much a part of process separation as it can be part of line art. Providing the user the ability to specify the real-world opacity of the user-defined ink in the real-world printing method being targeted would be a truly useful feature.
    Understand: This is not pie-in-the-sky. It can already be done (and commonly is) in Photoshop, because Photoshop correlates Channels to inks, and you can define as many additional channels as you want, and you can individually set their opacity. The onscreen display properly reflects the real-world opacity without wrecking the real-world separations.
    So just think of a spot color Swatch as an additional user-defined process INK. Think of the various spot color Libraries as mere preset conveniences.
    You could define a spot color Swatch named "Pantone 875" that looks purple on screen if you had some desire to do so. It would still print correctly so long as the printing house put Pantone 875 INK in the press--which is what they'll do if the separation plate says "Pantone 875"--which is what it will if you name the spot ink that way.
    Also: Assuming you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer installed (which you probably do), to test your spot color separations you can simply invoke the Print dialog, select Adobe PDF as the "printer" and select Separations in the Output pane. The resulting PDF will contain one grayscale page for each INK.
